Huffington Post has written a terrific article about End of Life Doula's and how this profession is helping people in the end of life community.

"Doula" literally means "a woman who serves" but this profession is not just for "women". Anyone can be an End of Life Doula. Some have even coolly coined the term "Dudela" to include a masculine angle to the title. But ultimately, whether you are male of female, we are end of life "Companions".
